Hey folks, Harry here... with a really very cool event that I get to be a part of here in Austin on April 16th of this year! Right smack dab in the midst of all the lunacy with SXSW, TCM contacted to see if I wanted to joining TCM's host Ben Mankiewicz and the stunningly awe-inspiringly killer star of RIO BRAVO, the female embodiment of viagra, Angie Dickinson! The answer was a glee filled, "FUCK YEAH!" - and so now, I get to share this awesome news with the rest of ya! All the details about how to get in are below - so... study and follow closely and I'll see ya there!!! I am really and truly giddy about this. I've got a little less of a month of rehab between now and then, I'll buy new clothes for this event, wonder what size I can get down to. Must be in better shape to meet someone as awesome as this! I biked 9.3 miles today, tomorrow will be 10!

Yes, Alan, he sure did try to fuck it up! Nelson had to be the worst actor of all time. But RIO BRAVO is too damn good to let one shitty performance screw it up. At least Wayne gave one of his finest efforts. And Angie... I saw this one at the drive-in when I was 9, and I'm pretty sure that she triggered the beginnings of puberty within me.

SO, since I live out of town I guess I won't get the "Tickets" for a first come first serve basis for this flick. I was looking forward to showing my kids a John Wayne movie on the big screen...heck it would be my first as well! But If I have to take a chance of driving in 2 hours to only be turned away I guess I will pass. Very Irratating.
